Dear gentlemen (and perhaps ladies),
I am trying to build an F14 simpit for VR as well. It should complete the setup for my DIY G-Seat in the end.
So long story short, I tried to get into CAD, 3d printing, metal amd wood-workand all the rest tbats needed.
I really enjoy reading about your progress. At the same time I know, that my pit willnever reach the level of Mumbles, LAsooner or Gunslinger (what a genius..)
Anyway, I did some basic work for the cockpit and I wanted to share my experience and ideas so far, if needed.
As I could not find a suitable ACM panel and an emergency wing sweep with the push/pull,I designed it by myself.
Please take into account, that these things are still prototypes till the pit is alive and, for example, the size of the lever is not final!
I am trying to design the pit with its panels and the seat to a level, that all of it comes together and is usable in VR.
Further more, my pit should mainly be reflecting the F14, but also house a collective for helicopters and MFDs for other, more modern planes.
I will share my CAD files and ideas for the construction as the project comes alive.
Cheerio, Ragnaroek
